A husky pocket pet: First Friday Art

Here’s a husky pocket pet I painted on a rock. This breed can sometimes be a handful.

But in the right hands, they’re great pets. Here it is curled up in a cozy blanket.

My first dog, J.C., was part husky. One of the things I remember most about her was her thick undercoat – a common trait of huskies.

After brushing her, I understood how people such as the Coast Salish once made blankets from dog fur.

A Woman Weaving a Blanket by Paul Kane. 1856.

  • I love this project, and the way the Husky looks cozy in the blanket... a precious memory💕 You’ve inspired me to try this idea with a Labrador Retriever as a precious memory of my deeply missed old pal... thank you
